Improving the quality of type 2 diabetes care for your community
No full textThis is a summary of important findings from a continuous quality improvement (CQI) program for type 2 diabetes care in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander primary health care (PHC). The program has been in place for more than 10 years, with 175 health centres across Australia giving the ABCD National Research Partnership permission to analyse data from this program.
The ABCD National Research Partnership works across states and territories in Australia to improve the quality of primary health care available to Indigenous people.
Researchers looked at data from clinical audits in community controlled, government and non-government health centres in very remote, remote, and non-remote areas. Over a number of years they measured and compared the following five items of type 2 diabetes care:
1 laboratory tests
2 physical checks by the health centre team
3 physical checks by specialists
4 brief interventions for nutrition and exercise
5 education and counselling interventions for tobacco and high-risk alcohol use.
This document contains two research briefs containing:
A summary of research findings for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers/Health Practitioners
A summary of research findings for Community Health Board

Research on target: A collaboration between researchers and practitioners for a target hardening scheme
No full textIn this paper we report on a researcher-practitioner collaboration to deliver a crime reduction initiative across a borough in the West Midlands region of England. The circumstances of the collaboration and the initial analysis are explained. The crime prevention programme, which involved the situational crime prevention technique of target hardening, is described and a brief summary of the evaluation findings are included. We then consider the value of such collaborations for developing evidence-led interventions and discuss a number of issues which researchers embarking upon this type of project should consider: funding, timescales, data access, publication and evaluation. We conclude that, with due regard for these issues, such collaborations can be beneficial to all the parties involved
Chronic illness care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people: final report
No full textThis project engage a range of stakeholders across different levels of the primary health care system, including service providers, management, policy-makers and researchers and capture their knowledge on the barriers and enablers to addressing the identified priority-evidence practice gaps and their suggestions on strategies for improvement.
Overview
The purpose of this project is to engage key stakeholders in the use of aggregate continuous quality improvement (CQI) data to identify and address system-wide evidence-practice gaps in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander chronic illness care. We aimed to engage a range of stakeholders across different levels of the primary health care (PHC) system, including service providers, management, policy-makers and researchers and capture their knowledge on the barriers and enablers to addressing the identified priority-evidence practice gaps and their suggestions on strategies for improvement.
Our research has highlighted the wide variation in performance between different aspects of care and between health centres. While many aspects of care are being done well in many health centres, there are important gaps between evidence and practice in some aspects of PHC. System-wide gaps are likely to be due to deficiencies in the broader (PHC) system, indicating that system-level action is required to improve performance. Such system-level action should be developed with a deep understanding of the holistic nature of Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander wellbeing beyond just physical health (including healthy connections to culture, community and country), of the impact of Australian colonist history on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and of how social systems – including the health system - should be shaped to meet the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
This project aims to build on the collective strengths within PHC services in order to continue improving the quality of care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities
